Yield as of 4/30/2013

Description %
30-Day SEC Yield 30-Day SEC Yield

A standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows for fairer comparisons among bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period. This yield figure reflects the interest earned during the period after deducting the fund's expenses for the period.

For funds holding To-Be-Announced (TBA) contracts, the 30 day SEC yield includes income earned on cash holdings and direct holdings of mortgage pools, net of fund expenses . Certain funds obtain a significant amount of its mortgage market exposure through TBA transactions. Those Funds invest cash pending settlement of any TBA transactions in high-quality, liquid short-term instruments. TBA contracts provide the fund with economic exposure to the mortgage market. The income that they generate is paid out in fund distributions but is not included in the SEC yield calculation. As a result, for funds holding TBA contracts, the SEC yield will generally be below the stated fund distribution yield.
